Lead us not into temptation

These words can be by itself a temptation, because we see an implication in there that God would or could lead us into temptation.  The word "not" stuck in there as it is gives us this impression.  Of course we know that can't be right...  We know that temptations come from hell.

О Lord, Thou hast protected this Thy flock, preserving it unharmed by the temptations of the enemy; for with Thy precious blood Thou didst redeem it from enslavement to the enemy, in that Thou art compassionate and the Lover of mankind. 

Octoechos Wednesday evening Vespers Tome 8 on "Lord I have cried..."

I now direct my whole heart and mind, and the inclinations of my whole soul and body, unto Thee, my Creator and Deliverer; and I cry unto Thee, O thrice-radiant sole Dominion: Save me, Thy servant, from all manner of temptations and tribulations.

Octoechos Sunday morning Nocturns Tome 4, Canon to the Trinity Ode IX

Here and countless places elsewhere in the treasury of our Church (services, Scripture, Lives of Saints, traditions, etc.) it confirms what we instinctively know that temptations are from the devil.  Even if God does allow the devil to do it, it is the devil who leads us into temptations.  Instead God delivers, saves, rescues, sets free, ransoms, redeems.  He leads us out of temptation — not into temptation.

I find a similar confusion in the Prayer of St. Ephraim, 

O Lord and Master of my life, a spirit of idleness, despondency, ambition, and idle talking give me not. Prostration

But rather a spirit of chastity, humble-mindedness, patience, and love bestow upon me Thy servant.  Prostration

Both cases can be made right with this understanding:

lead us not into — "lead us away from" or "turn us aside from"

give me not — "take away from me" or "prevent/protect me from"
